About Us

Perry's Own, Since Before It Needed a Slogan

Gandy Motor Lodge sits on S Byron Butler Pkwy in Perry, FL, and it’s run by people who live in this town rather than a company headquartered somewhere else.

Clean rooms, honest rates, and a welcome that doesn't change whether it's a Tuesday night or a holiday weekend – that's what a local motel is supposed to mean, and it's what Gandy Motor Lodge has held onto.

We offer consistency: the same clean room, the same fair price, and the same person behind the desk who actually remembers your last stay.

A Local Stay, Not a Chain Experience

The rates here stay low because the lodge is run simply and locally, not because anything got cut to make the numbers work.

The people behind the desk know this stretch of Highway 19 well enough to point a guest toward dinner, warn them about weather rolling in, or remember a name from months back – the kind of attentiveness that turns a comfortable motel into somewhere guests actually look forward to coming back to.

It suits travelers passing through for a single night, families settling in for a few, and road trips that need one dependable stop along the way. A chain hotel a few exits down might offer more square footage, but it won't have anyone who knows the best table when you’re in the mood for a hearty dish and which weekends in Perry have something worth sticking around for.

Comfortable Essentials, Done Properly

Every room comes with a refrigerator and air conditioning, along with free Wi-Fi that holds a steady connection through the whole stay.

Rooms are non-smoking throughout, and free parking means you won’t have to worry about paying for a spot after a long drive. Family rooms give larger groups the space they need without anyone improvising a bed on the floor, making them a genuine option for families rather than a standard layout with extra cots pushed in.

Outside, a small garden gives guests somewhere unhurried to sit with a coffee before getting back on the road. Put together, though, they're the reason a one-night stay in Perry tends to turn into a repeat visit the next time work or family brings someone back through town.

Perry, FL, Within Easy Reach

Hunger doesn't require a drive.

Subway and Pizza Hut sit right across the street; Old Mexico next door serves fajitas, margaritas, and a solid lineup of vegetarian dishes, and Mama's Italian Family Restaurant is close enough for a proper sit-down dinner without much planning.

History and green space sit just as near: the Taylor County Historical Society and Southside Park are a short trip away, the Taylor County Sports Complex serves families chasing a game, and Hampton Springs Park rewards anyone willing to drive a little further out for some quiet.

Few accommodations here put this much within reach of one parking lot.

For anyone splitting a longer drive along the Gulf Coast, that mix of food, history, and open space close by makes Perry worth more than a quick overnight stop.

A Straightforward Promise

Perry, Florida lodging doesn't need to be complicated to be good.

Gandy Motor Lodge keeps its rooms clean, its rates budget-friendly, and its welcome consistent. The same warmth on a random weekday as on a holiday weekend, and the same standard for every guest who walks through the door.

That standard doesn't change based on how busy the season is or how full the lot looks on a given night – it's simply how the place has always been run.

Call (850) 584-4947, or book online, and settle into a stay that Perry, FL, already knows how to do right.
